[PATCH V3 3/4] mmc: core: Introduce a new flag max-sd-hs-frequency

From: Sarthak Garg
Date: Wed Jun 18 2025 - 03:29:26 EST


Introduce a new device tree flag to cap the maximum High-Speed (HS)
mode frequency for SD cards, accommodating vendor-specific
constraints such as the inclusion of a level shifter which cannot
support the default 50Mhz HS frequency and others.
